Highlands and Islands Young Engineers and Science Clubs Showcase

21 March 2012

On the 16 March, science clubs from Highlands and Islands schools met in Eden Court Theatre in Inverness to showcase their scientific projects.

The schoolchildren participated in a series of scientific and technical challenges followed by a prize-giving ceremony. Students from the University of Aberdeen gave interactive demonstrations of physics principles in action.

Amongst other demonstrations, pupils experimented with a "gravity defying" bicycle wheel and were shown how to push skewers through balloons without popping them.

The IOP were represented by James Reid, Pascal Heymann, Harry Barnard and Aleksandar Grigorov - all of the University of Aberdeen.
